BECINNINGS OF NEBRASKA Some Reminiscences of Fifty Years Age in 3 the Antelope State. COMING OF GOVERNOR FRANCIS BURT 's First Proc- Events that in the Near Future, Acting Governor Cumi Within a few months ffty Y have passed since Nebraska was organized under the laws of the United States as a territory. And while there are those liv- fng here now who were men then and who have watched the transformation of a wilderness of prairie into one of the im- portant states of the unlon, and have seen fts cltizens great in the affairs of the na- -0, some notes from the records of the ‘state at that time will be of interest and will show to the younger generation how Nebraska's government got its first start, Already a movement is on foot to ob- serve this birthday of the state and it has begun in Omaha, a most “fAitting place for such a movement to start, inasmuch as Omaha City was the first seat of govern- ment this state ever had. After overcoming difficulties seldom en- gountered by other states, Nebraska was recognized as & territory of the United States May 30, 1864, and under the most promising auspices it started on its up- ward march, only to,meet with a sorrow that cast a gloom over the entire ter- ritory and dampened for & while the en- thusiasm over the winning of the long struggle for recognition. This was the death of Nebraska's first governor, Fran- cls Burt, October 18, 1854, two days after he had qualified for the office and after having been In the territory only eleven days. Geverner Burt's Death. Governor Burt was made such by Presi- dent Plerce and he was appointed from Pendleton, 8. C. He arirved in Nebraska Qotober 7, took the oath of office on the 16th and on the 15th he died at Belle- wue. He was beloved of the people of the new territory because President ce was. His death was mourned sincerely and his remains were taken to his eld home in South Carolina by an escort named by acting Governor Thomas Cuming, who, as secretary of state, Immediately assumed the executive's place.

Howard, James Doyle and W. R. James. The men were pald §2 a day and their ex- penses out of the contingent fund. The first act of acting Governor Cum- ing was performed the day of his death of Governor Burt and was the issuance of this proclamation: Tt has scemed good to an allwise Provi- dence to remove from this territory by the hand of death .its chief magistrate, Governor Francls Burt. He departed this life this morning at the mission house at Bellevue, after an ilines protracted since his arrival, during which he received the most faithtul medical aid and assiduous at- tention. His remains will be conveyed on Friday next to his home in Pendleton, §. C, attehded by a suitable escort. “In this affiicted dispensation, as a mark of respect and appreciation for the la- mented and distinguished executive, and as a sign of the public sorrow, the national colors within the territory will be draped in mourning and territorial officers will wear crape upon the left arm for thirty days from this date. In the resolutions of respect passed by Bellevae and Omaha City, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton of Otoe and Omaha mission, Dr. Malcom and Colonel P. A. Sarpy are thanked for their kindness and attention to the executive during his {liness. The resojutions were published in the Nebraska Palladium, Omaha Arrow and the Charles- ton Mercury.

The census showed Nebraska at that time to contain 2,741 citizens, of whom 929 were white males 21 or over, ‘103 white males over 16 and 560 under 16. Of the females there were 533 over 16 and 6 under 16. There were thirteen slaves in the territory, nine of whom wege in the Second district and four in the First district. There were no free colored people here then. Bused on the census, the apportionment of councilmen and representatives was as follows: Burt county, one ‘councilmgn and two representatives; Washington, one councilman and two representatives; Dodge, Richardson and Forney, the same; Doug- las, four councilmen and elght representa- tives; Cass, one councilman and three rep- resentatives; Plerce, three councilmen and five representatives. The election of coun- cllmen and representatives held December 12, 1854, resulted as follows: Counclimen— Joseph L. Sharp, Richardson; Richard Brown, Forney; Hefman P.

The legislature convened in Omaha City January 16, 1856, and in his address to the members acting Governor Cuming recom- mended that & memorial be sent to congress asking that the Pacific rallroad come through the state. He also stated that the authorities at Washington had sent the laws of the country and other literature during the month of August and Septem- ber, bug that they had not arrived. He hoped they would be here by spring. During the latter part of the session came the appointment of Mark W. Izard as governor. This was the session that adopted most of the lowa laws which the late session of the legislature fussed so much about. A great portion of the time was devoted to memorlalizing congress for protection from the Indians, the organ- ization of the state militla, settiement of county boundary lines and the laying out of roads. The session also dld not fafl to pass an anti-gambling law.

RESULT OF THE MEREST ACCIDENT Charlie Collins, Caldwell's Partn Takes Wrong Train Out of Omaha, Going North Instead ot to Linecolm, Mayor B. W. Caldwell of Sioux City, who is one of the ploneer newspaper men in the Transmississippl country, was telling a story or two of the early days while in Omaha to attend the Missouri river im- provement convention this week. Previous to being elected mayor a year and a half ago Mr. Caldwell was city editor of the Sloux City Journal for twenty-five years— and he has a lot of newspaper history an- tecedent to that. “Did you ever hear how the first daily paper was started in Sioux City?” ked Mayor Caldwell. 4 ‘No? Well, I had a hand in that myself. Charlie Collins, J. D. Calhoun and myself had been running an evening newspaper called the Times in Omaha, but we found the Republican and the Herald left no room for us. This was In 1869, about two years before The Bee began fits career. There was nothing left for the three enter- prising men that we were other than to get out of town and do business some place else. “We decided finally to Investigate the conditions at Lincoln, the new capital, and arranged to send Collins down there to see what the cltizens would do to help us. It was necessary to go to Council Bluffs and cross the river at Nebraska City to get to Lincoln then, and Collins went to the Bluffs. Sat on Wrong Train, “How 1t huppened, I don't know ex- actly, but Collins got on the wrong train. Instead of taking the one for Lincoln he boarded one for Sioux City, and that is where he disembarked. The early news- paper men these parts were resourceful and when conditions changed suddenly they were generally found ready to meet them. Collins hiad & look at Bioux City and then he saw a number of the residents, The result was that they subscribed a bonus so tempting that we forgot all about ‘Lin- coln and went to Sloux City and started the Evening Times. I left Omaha on the day the golden spike was driven in the Union Pacific at Promontory Point, Utah. “I don't know what might have happened to Sioux City if Collins had not boarded the wrong train. Maybe Bloux City never would have needed a daily, because, you know, we old-time newspaper men are just a little egotistical about what we think we did towards getting the west on & pay- ing basi: The Sioux City mayor had a story, also, about the imposing stone that was used in the old Herald office. The ¢ffice wi short of imposing stones and had barely enough for the newspaper forms. It was in 1866 and Caldwell was setting type. The firm had a lot of official printing to do and he was handling it. For a while he used the bed of a hand press to lay the type upon, but this was unsatisfactory. Memorial Stone. “I heard one day that there was a big marble slab engraved for the place of honor over a capitol that was not buiit”" he says, “and I determined to utilize it for my purpose if possible. 8o I went up and called on Charlie Geer, now with the Lincoln State Journal and who was eecretary to Golden Oak Library T« Golden Oak Library §7 Golden Qak Livrary Golden Ogk Library $60 Golden Ok Library ‘able—November Table—November Table—November Table—November Table—November $2450 Mahogany Library Table—November Library Library Library Library Library Librar $29° Mahogany g Mahogany Mahogany Mahogan: Mahogany Mahogany y 100 Mahogan: Weathe: i Solid Brass B Library ‘Table--November Table—November Table—November Table—November Table—November sale sale sale sale sale nale sale ble— November '‘able—November Oak Library Table—Nov. sule price.

He told me I could use the slab if I could cart it away. It was engraved with names on one side and gold leaf had been used in ornamenting fit, but I took it, and the slab was used as an imposing stone in the Herald plant until the bullding was burned.” y Mayor Caldwel it {s immaterial to him whether he is elected again next spring. He went Into the office on the republican ticket without much effort and has not yet grown into a rebellious mood. “It's all the same either way,” he says. CAT WALKS LIKE KANGAROO Puss that Belongs to John Kelkenney Has Only Half Enough L Rudyard Kipling might get inspiration for & poem from John Kelkenney's new cat, “Maud.” He once recorded some verses about a “bear that walks ltke a mad,” in & somewhat sinister vein surcharged with symbolism and supposed to knock pretty hard on Russia. ‘“Maud” is a cat that walks and looks like a kangaroo and does 80 because It 18 necessary. The British poet might find nothing ap- pealing in this, however, but that would not prevent the animal from earning a £00d living n & museum. Cats ordinarily are quadrupeds, but this ope has but two practical legs, like a kangarco. The front extremities resemble the flappers of a seal. They are utterly useless and so small as to escape ordinary attention. As & result the rear less are overdeveloped and the cat trods about on them in the regular biped way. She is a full-grown, healthy feline and apparently enjoys the novelty of the situa- | tion, aithough it is a ‘case of being unm-] ited all the time. At any rate “Maud” fs attracting lots of attention and would not object to a visit from Mr. Kipling at any time. Incidentally it ould be re- marked that “mine host” Relkenney ob- Jects to the question, “Is that one of the real Kilkenney cats?"
